Sypnosis
Faith Corvatch (Tomei) believes that she is destined to be with a man named Damon Bradley after playing a game with an Ouija board with her brother Larry (Stevens) when she is 11. This belief is strengthened when she sees a carnival fortune teller who tells her that the man she will marry is named Damon Bradley. Fourteen years later, we find that Faith is a teacher at a Catholic school and is engaged to a podiatrist. A co-incidence leads Faith to finding her soulmate, when her fiancee's high school classmate phones saying his name is Damon Bradley and is on his way to Italy. Faith and her sister-in-law Kate (Hunt) board a plane to Venice to find him and follow his path to a streetside restaurant in Rome. Faith accidentally bumps into a man (Downey, Jr.) while pursuing Damon; when she reveals her quest to him, he identifies himself as Damon Bradley. They spend a romantic evening together and fall hopelessly in love, but when he reveals to her his actual name is Peter Wright, she leaves him in anger and refuses to give him a chance. Peter shows up at the hotel, explaining to Kate the truth, that he has fallen for Faith. Kate meanwhile is interested in Giovanni (Joaquim de Almeida), a suave Italian. Peter finally confronts Faith and decides that he will help her find Damon who, according to Peter has moved on to Positano. They go to a posh hotel, Le Sirenuse, where Damon is staying, but as it turns out Damon is a playboy. When Faith and Damon meet, Peter begins spying on them until Damon goes too far with Faith. When she leaves, it is determined that Peter and his friend, Harry set up the whole thing.
